Just a note to thank you so much for E-Word Today. With its abundance of links and resources, it has truly become the computer literate believer's "must have." I am a Chaplain and Physical Therapist, working also as Resident Coordinator at a care facility for seniors; I also am legally blind. As you may imagine, I am usually very busy but generally find time in my day to conduct my own devotional studies using the resources of E-Word Today. I can no longer easily read regular books, but with my 19-inch screen and the audio and giant print helps you provide, I am not hampered in my ability to study the Word. The handy links to commentaries and specific verse references make the site almost as comprehensive as my Bible software and much easier and faster to use for personal study. The recent addition of links to Conservative and Christian News Media is also a welcome one, allowing me to keep in touch with the Christian world view right from my desk as I work. May the Lord continue to use you. What you are doing at GCN is a fine example of what evangelicals should be doing organizationally—coming together and uplifting one another for the furtherance of the Gospel to the glory of Christ. Many thanks, and may He return blessing for blessing. (Terry) Hi—I have been reading your site for a long time now and it just keeps getting better! You are a wonderful blessing to me as I work from home but am on line all day and your site is sometimes my only source for the word during my hectic day. While I was reading it just a moment ago the Lord sent a blessing! I love its new contemporary look. I have forwarded your site on to probably over 30 people on my mailing list. Please continue the awesome work you are doing. (Vicki) Thank you for your work that you do for the Lord. I look forward every morning to begin my day at work with the word that you have so graciously selected and sent to me. There really can be no greater work than spreading the word of God. And your addition of Matthew Henry's commentary is very good. The labor that you put forth in preparing and sending his word out on the web has to be a labor of love. Be assured, nothing is done for our Lord that he does not take notice. Never let anyone persuade you to stop this effort for you had to be inspired to do it by the Master. Do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season, if you faint not, you shall reap. That is one pay day that you don't want to miss. God bless you and all that work with you on this wonderful project. (Tony) I read most of E-Word the first thing in the morning, while I drink coffee, and file the contents for later use. It is wonderful to have it right at hand. There are so many wonderful things on the mail and I appreciate your work so much! (Sherry) I would like to thank you for two things. First of all for your daily E-Word. I've been struggling for years to read the Bible daily with varied success. I hooked into E-Word early in the year and have read the Word daily since. This is the longest I have been reading daily. I'm still working on finding a regular time to spend in the Word around family, work and volunteer commitments, but I'm thrilled to have come this far. Secondly, thanks for the French/English version. I lived in a French environment 15 years ago for a few months. I have since lived in a very English part of Canada where exposure to French is very limited. Now I practice my French reading skills by reading E-Word first in French and checking my understanding with the English version that follows. I am getting different insights from familiar passages from the different translation. All of the reading members of my family are now also reading regularly, and I have recommended this to many friends. Thank you for doing your part in fulfilling God's plan by sharing His Word so faithfully. (Brenda) I discovered your service just recently. I love it! Thanks so much for the daily reminder of our relationship with the King. I am currently receiving NKJV each day and I see how easy it is to change versions. That's neat, too. Thanks again for everything you're doing for me and for the Christian community. (Mark) No, this is not a problem e-mail but a thank you e-mail. Thanks for the daily reading from the Word of God. God bless you all. Your brother in Christ. (Robert) I just love your messages. You have space for everything except "thanks" on your site! Again, thanks for the bread of life. (Sam M.) I want to thank you for your devotions every day. I am 74 and it is hard for me to read the Bible any more as my eyesight is fading. It is wonderful that you can do this. I know there are a lot of people out there who thank you for your good work. God bless you all. (Cyber-Grannie) Editor: In response to the above message, we started to publish a Large Print Edition of E-Word Today. Our "Cyber-Grannie" helped us choose the right type size that worked best for her eyesight. We've also added several audio versions of the Bible. I like the "one-bite-at-a-time" approach. Those "Bible-in-a-Year" plans are just fine, if one's ambition is just to read the Bible in a year. But after I read my four chapters a day, I have no idea what I just read. Your short passages are a far better idea! (Maurice) May God bless all of you there (and the work you do in getting this e-mail out)!! (Dawn) I enjoy your messages very much. THANK YOU! Keep up the good work. And may GOD BLESS YOU and the people helping you. (Duane) I thank you for all the time and prayer that have gone into putting this (E-Word Today) together. I have passed this on to many of my friends and family. I really enjoy the hymnals and knowing something about the backgrounds of them. Thank you again. May God richly bless you. (Carolyn) What a great service you are providing! Bible for busy people--that is what I am. I am the working parent, and when I come home from work, I don't have much time to spend on the computer. I don't even get on every evening, so even with your mailings, I have to read several at a time, but your individual mailings are such a good length for even twice weekly reading! I love it! Keep up the good work! (Ann) E-Word Today is refreshing for the soul. I've passed it through to several colleagues. Blessings. (Carl) Tears of Wonder (Title of E-mail Message): Again I ask why you don't have a space for questions, comments, and testimonies about the blessings received from your daily messages? The blessings I receive are enormous and there is no way I can repay you. The history of the Faith rests on the bones of countless martyrs and hymn writers we will never be able to thank for their sacrifice. To be honest, we should make just a little more effort to leave a message of hope to a lost world which every day goes downward in a thousand manners. You are certainly doing your part in a beautiful manner which is just as honest as our forefathers. I am sure you will receive many crowns in the heavenly realms. May God richly bless you. (Sam) Editor: Our thanks to Sam for holding us to our word regarding this comments page. Your encouraging remarks always came at just the right time when we needed them most. Thank YOU. How wonderful!!! Thank you for your diligent work in cyber-space!!! It blesses my socks off!!! I also thank you for including the hymns, etc. in your daily devotionals!!! What a wonderful work you are providing for us!!! Que Dios te bendiga mucho!!! (Yolanda) I would like to subscribe to e-word for daily devotions. My friend sent me over a copy and I loved it. Could I subscribe, too? I wanted to say thank you for putting out E-Word. Unfortunately, many of us--myself included--do not take enough time to consider the things of God and ponder over His truths. E-Word provides just the right amount of that. It is an easy way to read the Bible, but I also like being able to read other Christian poems. It always helps knowing that you aren't the only one out there. Thank you. (Heather) I really enjoy receiving E-Word Today. It is a great way to start off my day. (Joe) |
